Thanks!

I don't know where the "stop the airplane completely" recommendation comes from, because I can attest from experience that a heavy airplane does NOT maneuver easily from a stop, and that the brake-tapping technique for the inside brake is not very effective from a complete stop, even when light.

It certainly would be interesting to query "Boeing" on the source of the recommendation...
